BACKGROUND: The human condition known as Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) is characterized by loss of ovarian function before the age of 40.A majority of POF cases are sporadic, but 10-15% are familial, suggesting a genetic origin of the disease.Although several causal mutations have been identified, the etiology of POF is still unknown for about St
Traumatic ventricular septal defect (VSD) resulting from blunt chest injury is a very rare event.The mechanisms of traumatic VSD have been of little concern to dateuntil now, but two dominant theories have been described.In one, the rupture occurs due to acute compression of the heart; in the other, it is due to myocardial infarction of the septum.
This study examined the electrical and self-sensing capacities of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) with and without carbon nanotubes (CNTs).For this, the effects of steel fiber content, orientation, and pore water content on the electrical and piezoresistive properties of UHPFRC without CNTs were first evaluated.Then, the e
Knowledge about biodiversity is largely embedded in a daily growing corpus of over 500 million pages of biodiversity literature that is not machine-actionable.It is thus not open to building a biodiversity knowledge graph, or facilitating the use of artificial intelligence tools.This hinders the completion of a much-needed taxonomic name Swim Vest
Biodiversity conservation is often considered to be an important co-benefit of REDD+ and other mechanisms aiming to increase carbon in biomass and soil to mitigate climate change.This reasoning is based on the assumption that the C level of biodiversity and ecosystem carbon are positively correlated.Firstly, however, studies have shown both positiv
